Maintanence question.........?

I was wondering when we actually have to get our first scheduled tune-up for our car. Are there any other major services that have to be done before then. I mean I always check the fluids on my car and change the oil.

What else would have to be done besides that, engine wise (I'm not referring to tire pressure, rotating the tires, brakes and stuff like that)??

What does Honda actually do for like a 20,000 mile service. My car has 19, 300 miles on it. Thanks fellas.

All of the details are listed in your owners manual including what the dealers do. They basically rotate your tires (although you should do that every 10,000) oil change, and check over all the major systems. Air filter and ventilation filter get changed.

Any real type of service like rad flush, brakes, tranny fluid doesnt happen till around 100,000 kms. Do yourself a favor check all the fluids, plugs, valve lash etc. spend 40 bucks on a floor jack and stands and rotate the tires and check things yourself.

Yup, all the info you need is in the middle section of the owners manual. It's no major work or changes. You can take care of it yourself
